About the Book
Longlisted for the Booker prize, Jennings’s allegory of a lighthouse keeper and an uninvited guest grapples with colonialism and the plight of refugees.
Karen Jennings’s An island is a remarkable novel, fully deserving the buzz of excitement it has stirred up. Longlisted for the Booker Prize, it was published jointly by independent publishers Holland House in the UK and Karavan Press in Cape Town. “It’s the same old story all over again,” said Karina Szczurek, publisher at Karavan, pointing a finger there and here, meaning that local writing still has to depend on European approval before it gets the attention it deserves at home. Little has changed since the 19th century.
